Dragon Age Inquisition vs Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor
Dragon Age Inquisition
Dragon Age Inquisition is the third installment of the critically acclaimed choice-driven RPG series, Dragon Age. Set in the troubled land of Thedas, you play as the Inquisitor who is tasked to save the world from itself, but there are many other factors in play, such as a massive demonic invastion and faction war that makes you job a whole lot more difficult. Of course, you will have to make many critical and sometimes morally ambiguous decisions that will change the storyline and set in motion a series of other events, resulting in very different outcomes.Similar to its previous games, you'll lead a band of champions who you can issue individual orders for via the game's incredibly useful pause function. Interestingly, you now can see the whole battelfield from a god's eye vantage point while paused, but if this is not for you, you can try your luck by simply diving into battle. The game also has a vast open world for you to explore along with many hidden secrets for you to find.
Dragon Age Inquisition is an excellent sequel to the series but unfortunately, it didn't get the accolades it so richly deserved mainly because the game was released within the year where The Witcher 3 came out. That said, if you have enjoyed the previous Dragon Age games, then you'll definitely love this one. If you are looking to get into the series, then heed our advice and start with the first game. You'll grow to appreciate the little things that the developers have put into the game. crossbows blazing.
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is one of the best games when it comes to the Lord of the Rings franchise... and yes, as much as we've enjoyed it, this means this game is way better than Lord of the Rings Online. Featuring a gameplay that may bring to mind other action-oriented RPGs like Assassin's Creed, Batman: Arkham and even Prince of Persia, Shadow of Mordor is a game that rewards stealthy attacks and yet if you prefer going after your opponents head-on, you can. Of course, the game is literally covered - oozing, in fact - with sweet, honey-like lore from the Lord of the Rings universe, and its graphics and soundtracks are simply superb.That said, the best part in this game is how everything major thing you do has an impact on the virtual world and this is best seen through the game's revolutionary Nemesis system. As the game progresses, you'll also unlock a wide variety of really cool abilities, one of which will allow you to mind-control orcs and turn them into your very own personal army.
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is perhaps one of the best RPGs out there that, despite its not-so-short 3 years on the market, the game has garnered overwhemingly positive reviews from both critics and fans alike.
